Southwark Council cutting 450 trees down in Burgess Park now

MR | 05.03.2011 11:21 | Climate Chaos | Social Struggles

Just a couple of weeks after the revelation by Southwark Council they were going to axe 450 trees and not the 147 they admitted in their planning application, Southwark Council started the destruction today of many old loved friends and younger woodlands that local volunteers planted just 15 years ago. Total barbarians and carbon criminals.

The chain-saw team is now scheduled to continue the destruction over the coming weeks in the park of The Millennium Woodland planted in 2000 to mark birth of kids on the Aylesbury Estate, the cycle track orchard, the library woodlands and glade, the nesting woodland by the lake, the two mounds woodlands to the west of the lake and 147 individual specimen trees across the park.

Public Meeting of Friends of Burgess Park

Tuesday March 8th, 7.30pm Sports Centre, Burgess Park, Coburg Road

Do you support the current felling of 450 trees in Burgess Park?

This bi-monthly open meeting will be the first meeting since Southwark Council admitted
that it was bulldozing 450 trees, instead of the 147 trees quoted in the planning application.

This meeting is open to all park users.

Come and tell the Friends and the council officers who usually attend these meetings what you think
of what is happening in the park.
